    The alleged behaviour away from boxing and go watch his interviews in the buildup to the Benn fight, the guy just oozes violence and menace.

    In a bar fight I’d probably take a prime Tex Cobb on my side.

    Couldn’t hurt him if you hit him upside the head with a 2x4 and he’d probably just laugh and have a good time of it busting heads even while other guys are swinging pool cues and bottles at him, then buy a round for everybody when it was over.

    Surprised no one mentioned Edwin Valero. You know the only champion in the history of the WBC to win every single fight by knock out. The guy who regularly beat the hell out of bikers. The guy who murdered his wife? Other than that

    Monzon
    Liston
    Duran
    Dempsey

    I wouldnt want to be on Fighting Haradas bad side.
    I think you could run over Bazooka Limon and hed get up swinging.
    Imagine running into Samart Payakaroon and not knowing his full background- in addition to having to watch out for punches you would have to watch out for kicks,knees and elbows.
    Bert Cooper could level a house.
    It would suck getting into it with Tyson Fury and finding out hes faster then you even though hes got 50/70 pounds on you.
    I wouldnt even prank call Joe Frazier.
